Not sure about the places you’ve mentioned - most beaches are open, but with very strict social distancing being enforced.  As a tourist, the following is something you will definitely need to know :-

It’s now official.  In Andalucia, as of midnight Tuesday 13th, the wearing of masks at all times whilst outside irrespective of distance from others is obligatory.  Fines of between 100€ and 6000€ (Yes, that’s six THOUSAND) are set for non-compliance.   In his spe...

There are no mentions of any exclusions for being on the beach or cycling or whatever - his speech consisted basically of what I have outlined above and exclusions to the wearing of masks was not mentioned at all.

Clearly whilst eating at a restaurant or drinking etc is an exclusion, but once you get up from the table, even if only to go to the toilet, a mask will be required.

Hey all..

Visiting with family and a couple of friends in about 5 weeks.. so just wondered what we can expect, so we can be prepared?

Read more...

1) The beaches open? And are the usual sunbed sections open? Is the watersports bit up and running?

2) Restaurants - they all open now? And the bards of course? (Coconut bar? Tropicana?)

3) Are they running all the fun electric scooters? Bike hires etc?

4) Is the cowboy place back open for visitors?

Anything else, as a tourist to do that may be of use for us knowing?

Yes. Patrolled spasmodically by beach patrol people. Sunbed sections are up, but less of them evident. Aquapark is not running, I think - best check. The Aquarium is open. Mariopark is closed...

Some have closed but most are open. And bars too.

3) Are they running all the fun electric scooters? Bike hires etc?

Yes.

4) Is the cowboy place back open for visitors?

Don't know - but I guess as long as they can socially distance they will be.



Good Luck.
